"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo?" Li Zhan looked at Yang Qiao'er in some surprise and asked, "Isn't it because Goguryeo is presumptuous?" ”

Yang Qiao'er leaned on Li Zhan's arms with a smile and said: "A presumptuous, how can it be possible to conquer Goguryeo three times, the Great Sui is a special dynasty, after more than 300 years of Wuhu Chaohua and the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty finally unified the Central Plains again." The newly rising Sui Dynasty terrified the Turks of the steppes and the tribes of the Western Regions, and it can be said that it was an unprecedentedly powerful empire.

However, such a powerful dynasty failed to conquer Goguryeo three times. Why did Emperor Yang of Sui work so tirelessly to conquer Goguryeo, and even won it after repeated defeats, in fact, Emperor Yang of Sui's purpose was not the territory of Goguryeo at all, and his real purpose was to witness the superb skill and skill of an emperor. ”

"Imperial Mind?" Li Zhan looked at Yang Qiao'er puzzled.

"That's right... It's the Emperor's Mind. Yang Qiao'er smiled slightly, and continued to narrate softly: "In the eighth year of Emperor Yang of Sui's great cause, Emperor Yang of Sui began to attack Goguryeo on the grounds that the king of Goguryeo did not enter the Hajj, and in fact, Emperor Yang of Sui had been preparing for the conquest in the seventh year of the Great Cause, when Emperor Yang of Sui ordered the world's troops to gather in Zhuo County, Hebei, and actually concentrated millions of troops, but the first conquest was lost because of the tactical failure of Emperor Yang of Sui.

However, Emperor Yang of Sui did not give up, and in the ninth year of the great cause, Emperor Yang of Sui once again drove his personal expedition, but he returned because of Yang Xuangan's rebellion and died halfway again.

In the tenth year of the great cause, Emperor Yang of Sui once again conscripted the army of the world and carried out the third expedition, but on the way, the soldiers of the Sui army fled all the way, and the king of Goryeo sent an envoy to confess, and Emperor Yang of Sui dismissed the army.

However, the three expeditions to Goguryeo caused the Sui Dynasty to lose hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and countless dead people and materials were lost, and it also triggered a serious peasant uprising, which Emperor Yang of Sui did not expect.

For Emperor Yang of Sui, the conquest of Goguryeo was just a means, not an end at all, in fact, Emperor Yang of Sui's real purpose was to weaken the strength of the major families in the Central Plains through the three conquests of Goguryeo.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the gate valve system has gradually formed and even been strengthened, quite overriding the imperial power, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty "King and Horse share the world" is a vivid portrayal.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, the family represented by the Guanlong nobles even controlled most of the economic and political forces in Guanzhong, and the Sui Dynasty royal family itself was also from the Hongnong Yang family.

The Shandong aristocracy east of the Kushan Mountains is represented by the Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Wang family of Taiyuan, which have the saying of "five families and seven hopes".

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty himself was an ambitious person, and in order to consolidate the imperial power, he created the imperial examination system, hoping to attract the poor to join the family to fight against the family, but the system was not perfect at that time and had not yet played the desired role, so Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty weakened the major families by conquering Goguryeo.

For Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial conquest of Goguryeo not only allowed him to temporarily collect the world's elite soldiers for his own use, but also built several large granaries to further concentrate military and financial power.

At the same time, the major families must cooperate with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to send troops, and the soldiers and family economy of the family serve the dynasty, which is constantly weakened by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, which has to say that the "imperial mind" of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is profound, but what is unexpected is that the three expeditions to Goguryeo not only did not play a role in weakening the purpose of the family, but caused serious social turmoil, so that the strong Sui Dynasty quickly perished. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Qiao'er in Li Zhan's arms actually burst into tears, which made Li Zhan a little surprised: "Why are you crying...?" ”

Hurriedly wiped her tears, Yang Qiaoer didn't speak, and kissed Li Zhan's lips directly, because a trace of tears was still on his lips, Li Zhan tasted a hint of salty and sweet.

It is also today that Li Zhan planted a seed of rejection of the family in his heart, at this time, Li Zhan did not know that he would have a long-term struggle in the five surnames and seven hopes of the Tang Dynasty.

...............................

The next day... Li Zhan's family's sale of ice has suffered a fatal blow, and the Cui family is like crazy, I don't know how many people they have hired to cover all the villages outside Chang'an City.

Li Zhan's ice is completely unsellable.

Seriously... For the Cui family's behavior, Li Zhan became more and more disgusted in his heart, but at this time, Li Zhan could not choose to confront it head-on, because a head-on confrontation was looking for death.

At this time, the Cui family is a behemoth for Li Zhan, and Li Zhan is not even qualified to confront the behemoth of the Cui family head-on.

And Li Zhan not only has to worry about the Cui family, he also has to worry about the royal family, if Li Zhan suffers from the enemy on his back, it will be even more troublesome, and if he is reborn once, Li Zhan doesn't want to die like this, so the eldest husband can bend and stretch.

Just after the Li family's ice industry was completely blocked, Li Zhan announced the closure of the Li family's ice industry.

This news made Cui Shouzheng of the Cui family very happy, and everyone who was cool was about to fly, but Cui Shouzheng would never have thought that because of his own affairs, the Cui family ushered in a terrible blow, that is, the crazy revenge of the prince Li Chengqian, on the evening of the day when the Li family's ice industry was announced.

The crown prince Li Chengqian's troops surrounded the Royal Ice Industry, and directly opposed the guards of the Royal Ice Industry, this matter was really troublesome, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and the two prime ministers went to the Royal Ice Industry to persuade Li Chengqian.

But I can't persuade you, not only can't you persuade you.

Li Chengqian also directly questioned the two prime ministers in a righteous and righteous manner.

"Fang Xiang, Wei Xiang, is it possible that our Li family is easy to bully, obviously this ice-making technique is a technique that my royal family said should not be passed on, but the Cui family, if you want to take it, take it.

Then they will squeeze to death the people who sacrifice this ice-making technique.

Please ask the two Xiangye to tell Gu, what is this called, is this to make my Tang Li family become a family of faithless and righteous villains.

Could it be that his Qinghe Cui family is going to ride on top of my Tang Li clan?

No... Never, my Datang Li clan is the destiny of heaven, who dares to bully my Datang Li clan, I, Li Chengqian, will never give up, come ... Give Lone an attack on the ice industry and arrest the Cui officials who leaked royal secrets.

If there is any obstruction, there will be no forgiveness...! ”

"Yes...!" Hou Guangliang obeyed the order, then pulled out his waist knife, and shouted: "Kill me...!" ”

A total of 300 elite soldiers from the East Palace directly entered the Royal Ice Industry, but fortunately, there was no resistance, and in less than a cup of tea, Li Chengqian found the Cui family official who leaked the art of ice making.

Seeing the Cui family official, Li Chengqian scolded loudly: "Cui Jue... Lone came to ask you, but the royal ice-making technique you leaked? ”

"Too... Too... Prince... His Royal Highness the Prince, I am a member of the Qinghe Cui family...! Cui Jue, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and took out his life-saving gold medal.

It's just that Li Chengqian didn't buy it and shouted: "Lonely, no matter whose family you are, Lone will ask you, but what did you leak about the royal ice-making technique?" ”

"It's... This... It was me who accidentally... Vent... Vent... Leaked...! Cui Jue was already extremely scared at this time.

"I accidentally leaked it...!" Li Chengqian grimaced his face and said: "You are really careless, if you are not careful, you will leak my royal secrets to your own Cui family."

This accidentally really impressed me... However, did you know what the criminal law is for leaking royal secrets? If you don't know, Lone will tell you, three words... Chop... Stand... Decide! ”
